My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1178
Ruka raised an amused brow and corrected her, ‘Actually, Mom, I no longer work there as of today. I quit.” Claire stared at her in disbelief. “What do you mean you quit? Why?”
Ruka knew Levi’s parents were fond of her, but she did not need their approval. Therefore, she decided there was no better time than now to dash their hopes. She shrugged nonchalantly and drawled, “No reason. I guess I was just tired of working.
Claire was perplexed by her daughter’s apathy and demanded. ‘You can’t just quit your job on the spur of the moment, Ruka! Besides, didn’t you just get the job? How can you get tired of it so quickly? You should at least talk to us before quitting!”
A wicked glee struck Ruka when she saw how agitated her mom was. She argued petulantly, “I just got tired of it, okay? You know how much I enjoy lazing around at home. Do you think I’m cut out for the working world when I can’t even do my own laundry and dishes?” She added defiantly, “You and Dad spoiled me, remember?”
Claire thought she might pass out on the spot. She couldn’t figure out why Ruka was acting up tonight when she would. never have behaved this way. What will the guests think?
She believed Levi was a charming young man and hoped he and Ruka could become a couple. Levi could not be a bad match for Ruka if he was introduced by an old family friend.
“Ruka!” Robert gave her a cold stare. “What in the world are you saying?”
Ruka noticed her dad’s consternation and feigned her innocence as she exclaimed.. “I really did quit my job!”
Levi, who sat beside her, did not think he would mind if Ruka stayed home all day instead of going to work. She was too pretty to be exposed to the rigors of working-class society. He interjected with a chuckle, “Mr. and Mrs. Singed, don’t take this too seriously. I personally find Ruka’s honesty to be rather endearing.”
His parents appeared to disagree as they exchanged bewildered looks. They were clearly disappointed by Ruka’s immaturity. They had no desire to wait on their daughter-in-law’s hand and foot..
Levi’s mother cleared her throat. “Levi, don’t interrupt Mr. and Mrs. Singed. It’s rude.” She did not want her son to appear too eager.
During dinner, it became apparent that Levi was eager to demonstrate that he could take care of Ruka. However, Ruka ordered him around throughout the evening.
Claire was furious, but she did not dare to throw a fit in front of the guests. When did Ruka become so infuriatingly unreasonable? However, Levi did not seem to mind being treated like a servant. His parents began to wonder whether he had any dignity.
From their perspective, this matchmaking was a complete failure. Ruka was beautiful, but her personality was horrible. They could not risk having their son become a personal slave to her if they decided to marry.
Ruka exhaled a sigh of relief when she noticed the thunderous expressions on Levi’s parents’ faces. Meanwhile, the dining room at the Husson Residence was filled with a warm and lively atmosphere.
Charlotte seemed to be having a whale of a time as she conversed with Sophie. She bombarded the girl with questions, and when Charlotte ran out of topics, she told stories about Ren’s childhood and her journey to raise him. One might assume she brought up an ogre if they didn’t know better.
